Only because of the persuasive charm and unrejectable kindness of Chris Morse, I find myself "acting" in a Superheroes this week. My presence isn't doing much for the show, but it certainly is a nice remedial course in acting is hard.
Tonight's lessons:
1. When I am directing, I often wonder why actors can't just sit still and disappear when they aren't acting. Answer: because they are human people. It's *boring* sitting there while other people do stuff.
2. When you are on the stage part of the stage, facing out, you have no idea what you look like. I had completely forgotten that.
I hope the detriment to this show will end up paying dividends for actors I work with in the future.
Also, 3. Props are fun.
